Davenport Sign Company

Riverbend Signworks has been building signs for Quad Cities businesses since 2012, and we’re a Davenport sign company, not a national chain with a Davenport sales rep. Our shop is on West Kimberly Road, our designers and installers work out of that building, and when your sign goes up one of our own crews puts it there. That matters more than it sounds like it should. Most signage problems are handoff problems, where nobody owns the project from the drawing to the lift.

Sign Design, Production, and Installation Through One Company

You bring us the problem, not the spec. We handle the design, the production, and the installation, and you have one number to call for all of it. For a business owner that means one schedule, one quote, and one company answerable for how the sign turns out.

Common uses: a new storefront that needs everything at once, a rebrand rolling across several locations, a building where the exterior, interior, and vehicle signage all has to match.

What Happens at 1320 West Kimberly Road

We make a lot of our work right here, and when a project calls for something we don’t produce in-house, we manage that production ourselves. Either way, you’re dealing with one company. A change to your sign is a conversation, not five quotes and a month.

It also means the unusual request is not a problem. A shape nobody stocks, a color match to an existing sign, a panel replaced on one truck in a fleet of twelve: those are routine for us, because the people designing your sign are the same people seeing it through.

Davenport Businesses We Have Built Signs For

The fastest way to judge a sign company is to look at signs you already recognize.

• The Last Picture House. Lobby signage and the marquee for the downtown Davenport theater.
• Putnam Museum. Channel letters, dimensional letters, and entrance signage.
• Tri-City Electric Co. Fleet van wraps.
• River Cities Engineering. Building signage for their Davenport facility.
• Davenport Police. Emergency vehicle graphics.

We were also part of the team behind the downtown welcome sign that greets drivers coming across the bridge into Davenport, working alongside artist Johnnie Cluney, the Downtown Davenport Partnership, the Quad Cities Chamber, and other local companies.

ADA and Room Signage for Davenport Offices

ADA signage is the part of a project most likely to be done wrong, because the rules are specific and easy to miss: tactile characters, Grade 2 Braille, mounting height and location, and contrast. We design and produce ADA room and restroom signage that meets the requirements and still matches the rest of your interior, so compliance does not mean a wall of gray plastic in the middle of a branded space.

Common uses: office suites and corporate headquarters, medical and clinic buildings, multi-tenant buildings, schools, and any renovation or new build heading for inspection.

Fleet and Vehicle Graphics for Davenport Companies

A wrapped vehicle is advertising that works while it is parked, and for a company running several trucks it is the cheapest impression per dollar you can buy. We design, print, and install full wraps, partial wraps, and vehicle lettering, and we keep a fleet consistent as vehicles get added or replaced. That includes emergency fleets: we produce the vehicle graphics for Davenport Police, where a marking package has to match exactly across units bought years apart.

Trailers too: see the One Eighty trailer wrap in our portfolio.

Common uses: service and contractor fleets, police and municipal vehicles, delivery vans, single owner-operator vehicles, trailers, and box trucks.

Common Questions From Davenport Businesses

What does a sign company in Davenport actually handle, start to finish?

All of it, if it is us. We design the sign, build much of it at our shop on West Kimberly Road, manage production on anything we do not build ourselves, and install it with our own crews. You are not coordinating between a designer, a sign shop, an electrician, and an installer, and there is no gap between them where the project sits for three weeks.

What kinds of business signs do you make in Davenport?

Exterior building signs including channel letters, cabinet signs, monument signs and post and panel; interior lobby, wayfinding and ADA room signage; wall and window graphics; and full vehicle wraps, partial wraps and fleet lettering. Most Davenport projects end up combining several of these.

Do you make ADA-compliant signage for Davenport offices?

Yes. We design and produce ADA room, restroom and wayfinding signage meeting tactile, Grade 2 Braille, mounting height and contrast requirements, and we design it to match the rest of your interior signage.

Can you do window and wall graphics for a Davenport restaurant or office?

Yes. Printed wall murals and wraps, frosted and etched glass, perforated window vinyl that gives privacy from outside while staying clear from inside, and full window graphics for storefronts. It is fast to install, needs no construction, and changes easily when your branding does.

Can you wrap a whole fleet, not just one vehicle?

Yes. Full wraps, partial wraps and vehicle lettering, and we keep a fleet visually consistent as vehicles are added or replaced. We produce the emergency vehicle graphics for Davenport Police, where a marking package has to match exactly across units bought years apart.

Do you sell billboards?

No. We do not sell or lease billboards. We build signs that belong to your building or your vehicle: exterior building signage, monument and post and panel signs, interior and ADA signage, wall and window graphics, and vehicle wraps.
